Putting floorstanding speakers on stands...
Sistrum SP101's under my still almost Dunlavy SCiv's make a marked improvement.. The way these platforms are built allows me to adjust and compensate for floor irregularites left to right and align the tweeters so they are slightly north of my ear... 
Looking for isolation suggestions...
Kentucky oysters work well for me. These babies make everything more natural and fluid like, while at the same time maintaining the tactile sense of space and air around the instruments. They are a real bargain..Tom 
Krell KSA200s bi-wire vs. 2 Yamaha MX1000 bi-amp
Yamaha amps are wimpy. No dynamics and are 2 dimensional at best. The Krell will have more bass control and present a very good rendition of a soundstage and musical contrasts. 
Spikes for Meadowlark Shearwater Hot Rod
You cannot isolate anything, so if you try you are going in the wrong direction. Audiopoints are not isolators. In fact Audiopoints are not reflectors either. Audiopoints and Sistrum both have a collective bandwidth that extends over several megah...

If you really want to hot rod these excellent speakers Audiopoints or Sistrum platforms are the dynamically coherent way to do so. Tom 
Does Panasonic RP 91 still have the best Picture
Best picture now is the Sony dvpn999es. Looks better than the new Pioneer Elite DVD47AI. I compared them side by side on plasma and dlp... Tom

Twl I guess I jumped into a question directed at you . Sorry about that.. Tom

Hi Sc53, I also have a Linn Lp12 and a standard Sistrum Sp 6 rack. What I have found to be most effective for me is as follows. .If you remove the masonite bottom plate you will see 4 corner braces. For the Lp12 to sit on the three Sistrum points ...

Sean, as TWL has written in his Sistrum statements he heard more music with lower distortion and at higher perceived volume levels. You do not increase level by dampening or killing off dynamics. Green only used some of the tools at his disposal. ...

Sean, I agree with your negative comments about the Michael Green clamp rack. Like all methods of dampening and so called isolation systems they serve to kill the dynamics and hence the music. There is only one parallel between the Green rack and ...

Brent Riehl designed the original Audiopoint in 1989 not Michael Green. Green was a pretty boy front man smart enough to capitalize on a good concept when he could grab one. As TWL stated a company north of Detroit makes a try to be knockoff of th... 
alternatives to spikes on wood floors?
Apcd discs from Starsound are the perfect mate to speed away the resonant noise and protect your valuable floor. Recommend replacing the steel spikes with the brass Audiopoints. You will hear a major improvement with these devices. They will not d... 
This Sistrum stuff works
We all need to carry a cushion so as to dampen the fall of each others ego. All of us here put much time and energy into this thing called hi-end audio. We also put much of ourselves into what we would like to be our own recreation of live sound. ... 
Recommendation for Speakers & Interconnects cables
Sonoran Signature cables thru out. Speaker cable, interconnect, digital, power cables. Even internal wiring on my ScIV's are of this same quiet and coherent cable system.

We can go on and on, with this whole closet thing. I have done that too. I can tell you more about Sistrum rack placement in your room. But I will refrain because I know if I post this finding it will only stir up more antagonism. Try the product....
